Selex ES strengthens electronic warfare portfolio
Selex ES has strengthened its electronic warfare (EW) offerings with the acquisition of Canadian company Tactical Technologies Inc (TTI). Selex announced the completion of the acquisition on 22 October.
TTI is an independent supplier of electronic warfare analysis software and services – including Tactical Engagement Simulation Software (TESS) family of products - to customers worldwide.
TESS products, both off-the-shelf and bespoke, create physics-based simulations that assist with the analysis of electronic warfare products, particularly in the field of electronic defence.
Selex has identified electronic defence technologies as a growth market. The company’s existing electronic defence capabilities include the BriteCloud expendable radar decoy product; and the company is also under contract to develop a Common Jamming Pod for the UK Royal Air Force.
The acquisition of the TTI portfolio, which will continue to be provided under the TTI name, will enhance the Selex ES’ electronic warfare range. It will also allow Selex ES to maintain its provision of operational support (EWOS) offer as it further develops its range of electronic defence products; and will enable the company to accelerate its electronic warfare product development and to improve the effectiveness of new products against less familiar threats.
